"Breathe" the surgeon looked at me and said in an all too calming voice. Ok..so I took a deep ragged breath like that was going to make everything he was telling me seem not so bad. Are you kidding..he just told me I had breast cancer. So I do have a bad boob just like I had expected...so my journey begins.
I am not sure how I am supposed to handle this...do I cry alot..do I laugh about it and try to be brave like I have seen so many other women do. Do I just try to ignore it and maybe I will just wake up and my life will be in a normal state once again. Hummm...good thing I got a cancer policy from Afleck this past summer....Quak Quak!!!! I'm gonna use it...Ha maybe a lot of Christmas goodies this year..Sweet!!!
I have never blogged before now. I am thinking this may be a good way for me to ger thru this long tunnel of uncertainties and fright. I have always wanted to write a book a bout something...maybe this is my chance...well maybe not a book but just have a blog...a blog...what the heck? Afew years ago that word did not exist. So now I am a blogger. A bad boob blogger!

ReplyDeleteFRET NOT THYSELF
"To fret means to chafe, be irritated, be uneasy, be troubled and bothered. It is just the opposite of peaceful, trustful rest. Jesus has promised us rest to our souls, and we may have this rest. We cannot have it, however, if we give place to worrying and fretting. God's purpose for us is that we shall have calmness and soul-quietness, even in the midst of tribulation. He has said, "My peace I give unto you." He followed this by saying, "Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful." It is not God's will that we be continually worrying. This world is full of things that are not as they ought to be, and if we are to be happy and peaceful, we must adjust ourselves to circumstances and learn to be happy in spite of these things.
There is a way in which we may possess control of ourselves and cast the responsibility upon God and He will bear it if we do this. We have to decide that we will be happy no matter what happens. If we see things going wrong we should take the burden to the Lord saying: "Lord, thou must bear the responsibility of these things. My shoulders were not made to bear these burdens. They are thine. I give them over to Thee. If anything is to be accomplished, Thou must do it." Then we must take our hands off. We must let the thing go. Treat it as something that is none of our business and let God handle it."
We love you, John and Yvonne.
Thank you John for these words of encouragment. I must never forget them. Love you both.
